    ASMFC Annual Meeting This Week

    Every NJ surf guy I know is in support of 1@35"...many are in favor of game fish status/catch release only. These are not guys who fish for food. Charter/party boats (with maybe the exception of Montauk's fleet?) are united for status quo or slot. As you pointed out, they're willing to secede...

    Anyone Squid Here?

    I wonder how far west they swim...any of the herring spots in Westchester/Bronx hold squid? Not looking to fill a cooler, I'll be happy with with a couple.

    Western Sound Blackfishing 2019

    Thanks Mike for opening up the 2019 WLIS tog thread! I'm tying up connection knots as we speak...20lb fluoro feels like rope after the 4/5/6lb leaders I've been using for smallies lol. Gonna check my drysuit zippers/gaskets tonight, and sharpen up my tog jigs for good measure. Can't wait to...

    Raising Landing %

    One thing about freshwater bass fishing that stymied me early on was keeping fish pinned while they go airborne. Nothing I target in saltwater break surface during a fight, save bluefish and I've never shed a tear over losing a blue. Well losing 4/5lb+ smallies and largemouths result in a LOT of...

    O.K., Here We Go Again - a New Deep Fluking Reel Build

    Beautiful reel Lep...my last Zillion family SV103 lies at the bottom of Raritan bay. With all the models Daiwa pumps out surely they ought to bring back the classic Zillion platform at some point. No T wing!

    I can't believe there's so many big fish in that little hole.

    I see you have 2 posts linking these videos. If you are spamming, please stop. If you are sharing in good faith, you should know that these "survivalist" videos are 100% fake.

    I'm ready for a New Lighter Tog Set up

    Lep, I'm not a tog expert and I do it from a yak...but I find myself favoring longer and longer rods for tog jigging. I feel that the more line you can move on the hookset the better, bouncing that fish a few feet off the bottom before he even knew what hit him. Those first few turns of the reel...

    Grilled Cocktails

    Honestly the paper towel method applies to all meats, not just fish. Meat should never ever be stored in plastic...controlling moisture is paramount.

    Some Yak Bronze

    Found these fish late summer, stayed on them for a month now...hopefully I get my fix before tog opener! This one wasn't the biggest, but fought like a demon on 5lb floro...

    Grilled Cocktails

    Kept exactly one bluefish this season, perfect size for my new grill basket. Also took forever to edit down this video...my mind is much more on fishing than cooking these days lol. The key to grilling bluefish or porgies (asides from bleeding/icing down) is to salt it down overnight, half...

    VA defying ASFMC as Omega Protein exceeds Chesapeake Menhaden Cap...

    We knew this was going to happen when NJ got away with their illegal fish grab in 2017. Omega (via their reps in VA legislator) knows this admin will overturn ASMFC re bunker, ASMFC knows it too. NJ certainly knew as well what kind of precedence they were setting, as did the "recreational"...

    Single Jig Fluking

    Thanks Lep! I'm pretty sure I mentioned in the video but to clarify...the way I jig is a shallow water thing. Once you get past 60ft...as far as you can cast you're still more vertical than horizontal, and out in the ocean even the lightweight jigs lose its advantage in my experience. They...

    Single Jig Fluking

    Some interesting revelations on the underwater shots...that mullet "roll" was unexpected. Shallow water = single jig for me...esp from shore.
